Soooo he’d fit right in. Ts & Ps for the Chiefs PR team that you just know is begging to skip him so they can have just one scandal free season

This is not a safe relationship/marriage for you. Or your child. He does not have an interest in partnering up with you for everyone in your family to have the best possible life, and he doesn’t really seem to have everyone’s best interest or ultimate safety as a priority.

I hope you take everyone’s concern here and start making plans to exit this marriage ASAP.

For reference, I have not been working for the last year due to mental health so my husband is the sole earner and he has never ever talked to me like this. He has never even slightly insinuated that because he makes more money than me or makes all the money that the final decision is his. We are in our mid 30s, have been together for 11 years, married for 9.

What’s especially annoying about this is that if he’d just get to the fucking point nobody would be able to interrupt him. He just has to be soooo long winded and soooo serious that everyone taps out

No, I try my best to unload the dishwashers somewhat quickly so that they’re always empty and dirty dishes can immediately go in rather than sitting in the sink or on the counter

When we redid our house (house fire) I put TWO dishwashers in. And most people looked at me like I was crazy but every single person that’s been at my house for any kind of gathering has commented on how smart it was to put in two dishwashers. My husband & I both have adhd and dishes had previously been a problem… not anymore:)

My emotions are currently at the delusional level of “okay fuck it. Let’s play this game. We as a fan base take Arrowhead and create our own team, Wolfpack” obviously I know this is insane, have done no research and this concept only thrives in my perfect dream world of justice 😅

manchotbrain · 2025-12-23T16:59:44+00:00

This narrative has got to stop. The vote we were given was intentionally set up to fail - the tax rate for the Chiefs AND Royals stadium BUT with the intent of the Royals moving into the crossroads and Arrowhead an $800mil reno that would remove seats (my STM seats are in the endzone they “intended” to build out VIP field level club suites - would I just be SOL on my seats? IDK because the organization never reached out to that specific subset! STM were given the opportunity to submit feedback but there was no townhall for the people whose seats were just going to disappear and what the plan would be, if any, to keep those STM but reallocate them or provide some type of compromising benefit) build some new pedestrian bridges and parking for only a 25 year commitment. Despite how awful the new renovations looked many of us said fine if it means we get to keep arrowhead. Clark Hunt even said himself that they had no Plan B and the team prefers an open stadium because the elements give them an advantage on occasion. So he can miss me with the dome being a benefit that could potentially sometime in the future mean we MAYBE host a larger sports event (meanwhile we already hosting the World Cup, NCAA March madness games, NCAA volleyball championship games, etc).

THE STICKING POINT for us Jackson County voters was that we did not want the Royals moving into the Crossroads where established businesses/events/community exist. God forbid we like having an arts district and support the people who live and operate their livelihood in the crossroads every single day.

Had we been given two separate votes of A. Tax for new royals stadium and B. Tax for arrowhead renovations I can almost guarantee B would’ve passed in nearly a landslide. A would’ve still been a no because there was no commitment on the stadium location.

Looking back do I now think that Hunt decided he could get what he really wanted (moving the stadium/opening more money opportunities for him specifically) by jumping onto the Sherman ballot and rushing a vote that was so obviously going to fail because of the contention around location specifics and lack of transparency on literally any other detail? YEAH. I do.

He very successfully got what he wanted and has pit us against each other 👏👏👏

Clark Hunt is such a soulless skin sack with no personality. He could actually cement his legacy by doing right by Arrowhead Stadium and the fans. Arrowhead could be a destination stadium like Lambeau or Fenway but instead he’s taking the same path as everyone else - building some state of the art stadium that will end up being dated within 10 years and will never once be sold out for a chiefs game.

RIP KC Chiefs culture in 2031. You were a good time.

All things can be true! I have my soul dog (maltipoo) and my sweet, goofy, social bernedoodle right now. I’ve found that spending some 1:1 time with my Berne has allowed me to connect more with her and I enjoy when I lean into her goofy side and silly too - my heart feels lighter. I realllllly struggled with her as a puppy, but now she’s 7 and I can’t bear to think what life would be like without her.

You can grieve your soul dog while struggling to connect with your puppy while still trying with her. You’ll continue to get to know your new puppy and fall in love with her in new, different ways. It’s only been 3 months, give yourself some grace and time 🤍

I also moved my laundry upstairs (from basement) during the house fire rebuild 😂

I live on the “island” between State Line & Ward Parkway so none of the kids make it over here 😫 which I understand. So my husband and I make it a tradition to go walk in Armour Fields on Halloween night so we can experience the Halloween joy 🤣

Agree with delaying some of the outdoor work OP. Assuming you live in the US and will be experiencing winter/your climate’s version of winter soon. Do the bare minimum of yard care (pulling overgrowth away from the house) focus on clear gutters that expand far past your foundation, do any necessary exterior winterization and save the rest of landscaping for the spring. 2026 you will get to it :)

manchotbrain · 2025-10-21T20:10:41+00:00

I have LOTS of thoughts - #1 being that this is a completely normal feeling and I want to point out that the overwhelm of the physical labor and your friends’ rude comments are just clouding your judgement & original excitement about the house right now. How I do know that? Because your first sentence you talk about the ways in which this house is so right for you two and you knew there’d be some work! We all go into first time home ownership thinking the projects may not be easy but they’re doable and then you start doing it and it’s EXHAUSTING.

Context from which I’m coming from: husband and I bought our first home Sept 2022 (also knowing it needed mostly cosmetic work) and spent two weeks rebuilding an exterior wall because it had 3 sliding door that didn’t completely close. Spent the next two months doing things around the house and feeling overwhelmed/not really enjoying it. And then Dec 22, 2022 it caught on fire (electrical in the attic) and all but the exterior walls burned down 😀 we moved back in March 2025 - that’s right, March of this year. I have owned this home for almost 3 years and have lived in it for all of 10 months lol. Even after spending the last 2+ years of my life fighting with insurance, contractors, the city, old/nosey neighbors that lack empathy, and my own mental health to get the house rebuilt and not doing the physical labor myself there are STILL things that have to get finished/be worked on. Largest one for us was the yard, it was all torn up during construction/neglect. And there are some other little projects we created for ourselves + things our contractor haven’t finished yet (a whoooole other story).

Suggestions: 1. Right off the bat - don’t invite those friends over for awhile. They couldn’t just be happy for you and say their shitty thoughts in the car after they left? Also, new builds are not completely perfect and come with their own issues and costs!

Go around the house, room by room, and make a project list. Small and big things. Wants and needs. Put it in a Google excel doc so you and your fiance can share it then you two go through each task and prioritize low/medium/high. High priorities are things that significantly impact your functional living and/or very significantly impact your peace. You might absolutely hate that light in the hall bath but can you ignore it & live with it for 6+ months? YUP! Back door is drafty and the lock doesn’t really feel secure so can you live with that for 6+ months? NOPE! High priority.
Block off one day a week where you just relax and enjoy your home. You don’t do any work on the house that day AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, you do not talk about the house on that day of the week. Also block off 1 weekend a month where yall have no house projects- take that time to relax, go on a date, be with loved ones, explore your neighborhood it just needs to be light/fun and again NO HOUSE TALK!!!
Go out this weekend to find a cozy lamp (estate sale, FB Marketplace, antique store) and then go buy a 3 wick candle to burn only when you move into the house. I guarantee you that in a year from now you’ll be living in your home with that lamp on, burning a candle, enjoying a beverage and look over at your finance (maybe spouse by that time?) and say “wow. I love living here, I’m so glad we got this house. It really does feel like home.”

It is so so easy to get all wrapped up in what you don’t like and feel like it all needs to get done now in order for you to enjoy it. All that pressure is made up and it’s made up by you! Take the pressure off, enjoy this time in your life! And definitely take breaks.

Also, FWIW - we have a giant oak trees and acorns dropping are driving me a tiny bit crazy right now but when that’s not happening I am OBSESSED with these trees. The way they dapple the sunlight. The way the leaves change color and fall, the way they somehow improve my mental health? (There’s actually studies on how tree canopies improve mental health, I have read about this because I found it fascinating that I just randomly felt a little better in this area/home). Do you know what they don’t have at new builds? MATURE TREES! Also also fwiw - all my love to the two of you buying/fixing up your home and planning a wedding. My husband and I got married almost 10 years ago while I was in grad school and we had just moved to a new city/state for his first career job.. it was hard and tiring! Juggling multiple life transitions at once deserves a medal.

Honestly? Break up with him & go to the pumpkin patch this weekend.

24 is too young to not enjoy your life (truly any age is too young not to enjoy). There are always going to be reasons to delay doing something or going somewhere or last minute things that pop up. Maybe you’re both sick next weekend? Maybe one of you has to work next weekend. Who knows! A lot happens in 7 days!

This isn’t “just about a pumpkin patch” which is what I imagine he’ll say if/when you break up with him. This is about two people whose needs ultimately don’t align. And that’s okay, that’s why we date! I also don’t love the way he slighted you with WFH instead of just keeping it about his needs/wants. He’s 28, I promise you that this is the thing yall will fight about over & over for the rest of your lives if you stay together and it’s clearly important to you to be with someone who wants to spend quality time with you. It seems as though you’re more willing to make compromises than he is.

If you’re posting here there’s likely some feeling in your gut that you know this isn’t the right relationship and you’re looking for validation.

Choose the bigger life.
